Authentic in my opinion.

Hi muchstuff. Thank you so much for your response! I have another question. I have searched through online how to identify fake mini city bag and most of the items shows my bag is authentic. Only one thing I am not sure is that some websites says one identification check point is the zipper leather piece tip should be angled, more like a triangle instead of round. But I think mine is more round. See the pictures for the grey colored ones ( one for left side one for right).

To make sure, I went to the department store to check that. Most of the balenciaga bags in Saks and Neiman Marcus shows the zipper tip is angled and not round. I took a picture for comparison. The red one in store and the grey one is mine. I think it is pretty obvious that my bag is more round. Can you please help me identify it again? My original post is 11228 and 11232. Thanks again!

I still think you're fine, your's doesn't look much more rounded than the red one to me. You didn't mention where you purchased your bag from...?

I purchased from personal seller. I also used ***************** for checking. They said it is authenticate. But I also heard sometimes they provide wrong opinion. Do you think they are trustworthy? Do you know any other good authentication website? Thanks!
 
I can't really give an opinion on paid authentication services as I've never used one. I've heard authenticate 4 u mentioned, perhaps you could do a search for others.

Ok that is fine. Thank you so much! Really appreciate your fast responses!!
hope, you don't mind me jumping on, i agree with Muchstuff, Authenticate4u is usually good, and also i went through your pictures and i don't see any problem, your bag looks legit to me.
And ref to your last post, i took a picture of my 2 Cities, one is ME another is reg hw, here's the picture (ME is on the right) and if i look very hard i would probably see that ME is a tiny little wee bit rounder than the other one.

Thank you so much ksuromax! Yes I can see the one on the right is a bit round than the left one, which is similar to my mini edge.

Just curious ME is mini edge? What does hw mean?

Thank you again!!
 
Does any version of the WORK bag comes with 2 extra unzippered pockets on the cloth lining inside? These are opposite the tag and the zippered pocket inside. I've several first hand ones all without and I'm puzzled if this 2nd hand one is authentic.

Work was made till very recent time, and additional cloth pockets (for mobile, most likely) appeared in 2012 (Much, please, correct me if i'm wrong), hence more recent Works well can have those and be perfectly legit. But without pictures we do not confirm anything, this is just general info.
Should you need any assistance, please, post the needed pics, we'll try to help you :flowers:
 
Hi Muchstuff, it me again. Another seller is offering me her purse, and it looks real to me based on the authentication checks online. But still, I’m not confident. :(
May you help me again? I hope its the real deal.:) Here are the photos:
